The Rites of Spring Event
The killer bunny makes his annual return!
The Gem of the Harbinger now has 7 new stat-variants to choose from!
As such, the gem no longer drops as a One-Time-Drop and instead is a loot-choice on the Rites of Spring quest.
Killing the Harbinger of Spring mob (battlegroup-credit) still grants the quest automatically.
There will be no item exchange service for the Gem of the Harbinger or any of its variants, choose carefully!
The Traveling Merchants have made their way through the muddy roads and set up shop in their usual spots; but this time with some price changes and new wares!
Enjoy Spring with some RvR bonuses!
The Rites of Spring, Traveling merchants, and RvR bonuses will continue through Monday, April 16th.

Remember, the quest is battlegroup credit and also automatically given upon defeating the Harbinger of Spring so don't worry if you forgot to grab it!
Note: All characters will be able to obtain the Gem of the Harbinger (or one of its variants) and Bracelet of Springtime Folly, even if they got one last year!
Battleground players, don't forget to speak with Lady Mirabelle in Castle Sauvage, Svasud Faste, or Druim Ligen in order to obtain the Egg Hunt quests!
Don't forget to do the Spring Egg Trophy quest! Simply complete any of the Egg Hunt battleground quests or the Rites of Spring quest to be eligible for and offered it.
The Garden Nest and Flower Box trophies will spruce up any home's garden!
Traveling Merchants
The traveling merchants have been... err, traveling for too long but have finally returned to the realms to share their wares... for a price.
Several items have had their prices reduced and you'll find never-before-sold loot including Hallowed items from the Mournful King instance!

The Merchants have set up shop in their usual areas, so be sure to pay them a visit and stock up before they take their leave a fortnight from now!
In Albion: Just outside of gates of Castle Sauvage in Camelot Hills
In Midgard: Just outside of Svasud Faste in the Vale of Mularn
In Hibernia: Just outside of Druim Ligen in Connacht
